---

The World Congress always incorporates a special evening to reflect the best cultural entertainment that the Congress country can offer, and this promises to be the best ever. The diversity of Asian influences in Hong Kong will be reflected through an exotic variety of culinary delights and fabulous entertainment in a truly memorable evening in the Grand Hall. Traditional Japanese Taiko drums will herald the beginning of the feast; try some famous Peking duck or the zesty flavours of Szechuan Chinese cooking and watch the famous Lion Dance. Sample the spices of Thailand, the rich aromatic flavours from India, the delicacies of Japan and be enthralled by traditional Thai dancers and Chinese acrobats.
